Inflation and the economy appear to be the primary concerns of voters; abortion trailing back on the list. Economic issues of course affect everyone in their efforts to survive and prosper. Abortion terminates a person at the earliest stages of human development thereby denying the developing person the pleasures, endeavors, and privileges of life. Some scientists place a person’s DNA to be initiated at either fertilization or implantation of the zygote. The cells developing in the woman’s womb are distinct from the woman as the DNA is that of a newly forming individual.

A woman certainly has the right to control her body, however, aborting that developing individual, and there is no other pathway to becoming a person, is killing a person just as pulling a tomato seedling from Mother Earth is killing a tomato plant. Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano understand this facet of human development; for them it is a No-Brainer. Yes, Mastriano sounds tough, but, he is calling it right.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman, rather than leading and explaining why abortion is wrong, as leaders should do, acquiesce to the populace because it will get them votes politically and keep them in control. In some respects this is like allowing the kids to run the family.

Let’s put Pennsylvania at the forefront of eradicating this communist-like (China) abomination. Vote Mastriano/Oz.
